Actually, unstable updates at 19:52 UTC (or 20:52 UTC if auric is on

UTC does not observe DST, hence Pacific Time being -0700 or -0800

Indeed; however, cron jobs operate according to local time.
I wonder if that's really a feature; it seems like it'd be useful to
be able to specify that the time in a crontab refers to UTC (or "Zulu"
time as I think of it) rather than local time. For one thing, this
could make it easier to remote deploy machines across diverse
geographical areas; all times in config files would mean the same
thing.
Oh well.
